Aljamain Sterling disagrees with Dana White about T J Dillashaw

UFC President Dana White recently shared that he was impressed with how T.J. Dillashaw handled the suspension. UFC bantamweight champion Aljamain Sterling disagreed with White's notion that Dillashaw handled the situation like a man. During a recent appearance on My Mom's Basement with Robbie Fox, White stated: "I think that he made a mistake, and he handled it like a man. We’ve had a lot of guys in the history of this company who have been busted for steroids and handled it the exact opposite way. They handled it not like men and Dillashaw did. He took it on the chin and you’ve got to respect him for that." During his UFC 280 press conference, Sterling was asked about White's comments. He stated: "Very strange, Dana's an interesting cat. I like Dana a lot, but some of the things that I just have to wonder, his reasoning and his rationale... What about that was manly? The guy got caught, he didn't come clean Dana. I don't get it and I think it's a very odd thing to say... What makes this situation more like a man versus anybody else?" Sterling's comments were very reasonable as Dillashaw wasn't the first or last fighter to accept punishment for his actions. Dillashaw will look to silence his critics by recapturing the bantamweight title at UFC 280. Watch Dana White's comments on T.J.
